Many of the European countries seem to be ahead of the curve on introducing new mobile features. Bank of the West is owned by BNP Paribas though and I expect that with the help BNP Paribas they'll be rolling out other mobile features that are common in other more innovative countries as well.

in Poland already two banks has this feature. One is showing the amount which is on main account, other is showing only a bar with balance status in percentage (in settings you can set up the amount which for you is 100%).
